What is Aston Martin thinking??

[06vista]

In June, Aston Martin released a photo of its Cygnet concept, a Toyota IQ-based city car with a Vantage grin. Today Aston's dropped images of a seemingly production-ready Cygnet with an expected $32,000 price tag.

Aston hopes to bring the Cygnet to production some time in 2010, with the aim of as many as 2,000 cars a year. If you're wondering the same thing we are, "Why, god, why?" consider this: If Aston sells a couple thousand Cygnets, each emitting under 120g/km of CO2, that's a hell of a reduction in its fleet emissions.

But the looks are...umm...well...as these first official images show, the Cygnet is still closely based on the Toyota iQ city car, retaining the same basic body shape and even the same front lights. The front has been given a heavy Aston-style rework, however, complete with trademark grille and even miniature bonnet vents.
